Tommy is a South Richmond native; graduate of Randolph Macon College; former educator in Richmond City Public Schools as a teacher ~ coach at George Wythe and Armstrong High Schools, principal of J. B. Fisher Elementary, Westover Hills Elementary, and Elkhardt Middle Schools, and assistant principal at Blackwell Elementary.

Tommy and his wife, Diane, moved from Hanover to St. Petersburg, FL in 2008- returning home to Hanover in the summer of 2015, moving into the Providence neighborhood in Ashland.

Tommy has been a Presbyterian pastor for thirty years; three in Mt. Olive, N.C.; twenty years at New Hanover Church on route 301 and seven years at Northeast Presbyterian in St. Petersburg.

After moving back, Tommy reconnected with St. Giles Churc, his pre-seminary home church (as assistant pastor for evangelism and church development (in Ashland). He is now ordained in ECO, a new denomination. This allows Tommy to maintain connections with Restoration Church (EPC) and New Hanover Church (PCUSA) while seeking to build a new ministry in Ashland

Tommy and Dianeare most proud of their 3 grown children who believe in and seek to follow Jesus in their lives and share faith from generation to generation with their seven grand children. Note, this just happens to be the visionand desire of "AIM" Church: A Church for the next generations where we share faith from on generation to the next.

Tommy’s personal mission has changed from oneof seeking to achieve success to helping others achieve success (kind of like Barnabas in the New Testament).
